By Jeremiah Sejabosigo
Gaborone — Botswana
basketball protégé, Churchill Burrow,s says he is enjoying an
opportunity of playing professional basketball following his recent
breakthrough in Europe.
Burrows has been playing for Malta second division club, Hibernians,
on trials for the past three months and explained that he has made
positive impression.
Back in Botswana for holiday, the 24-year-old former Dolphins captain
said it was always his dream to play professional basketball.
He said his stint in the Maltese league was hugely successful as he
played an important role in the Hibernians winning the second division
league and two cup competitions. The team has now promoted to the
premier division.
Burrows pointed that his exploits in helping elevate Hibernians to
the top division and cup glory have led to a clamor of interest in his
services by a number of clubs in Malta.
"I went to Malta on a mission to be Botswana's next player in the
European market. Luckily I joined a good team and it has been a great
experience for me. I was happy with my contribution, and I have offers
from three teams, some of them in the top division," Burrows said in a
media interaction onTuesday May 5.
